TEAM GAMEPLAY
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== POISON POLLEN (Vileplume - Expedition Expansion)
Q1. In Team Play, I'm using Card-E Vileplume's "Poison Pollen" power and I flip heads. Does the pokemon I target it with stay the "defending Pokemon" meaning I can only attack that Pokemon when I use an attack?
A1. Correct. [But] to complete what you asked, you must still attack that PLAYER. Of course, a trainer or other effect might switch what their Active Pokemon is before you actually attack. (Dec 12, 2002 WotC Chat, Q121 & after-Q122)
Q2. To clarify #121:That would only be for that turn? So next turn, if I didn't use Poison Pollen, I could then choose?
A2. Correct, since it is an activated power, every time you use it, you could specify a new Defending Pokemon. (Dec 12, 2002 WotC Chat, Q129)
